There was a flash of confusion in the emperor's eyes. Concubine Tong?

Is there such a concubine in his palace?

Concubine Tong, who was identified by Hongmei, walked out calmly from the crowd. She was graceful and elegant with a light gait. After she stood still, she bowed in the direction of the emperor and then spoke.

"Master Tang, I don't have any eunuchs with the surname Chen."

"Impossible, he said he was a palace maid beside Concubine Tong..."

Hongmei collapsed on the ground, "Sir, I didn't lie. That person really said he was the eunuch beside Concubine Tong."

[Well, Hongmei didn't lie this time. That person did say that. However, she had met him several times before and never doubted his identity.]

[But Concubine Tong did not lie. There was indeed no eunuch named Chen in her palace.]

[That person must have used a fake name to deceive Hongmei. ]

[Ah, Concubine Tong is so beautiful, like the most beautiful crabapple flower on the branch. The emperor is so blind that he prefers fish eyes over pearls.]

[It turns out that Yumu still has a childhood sweetheart in his heart, and he is looking forward to meeting her again in the harem and cheating on her. ]

emperor:"……"

Just solve the case, why do you step on him for no reason?

Calculating the time, Concubine Chen has already arrived at the imperial mausoleum!

But... his gaze drifted towards Concubine Tong in the evening breeze. The setting sun was casting golden rays of light, and the breeze was ruffling her temples. She was indeed very beautiful with the warm golden glow, a beauty completely different from that of Concubine Chen.

Lu Xinran wanted to write a short essay to praise Tong Bin's beauty, but being drunk made her bald. She thought for a long time and the only two words that flashed through her mind were "national quintessence", which could express everything.

Tang Quyan wanted to rub his brows. This girl from the Lu family had too much jumping thoughts.

Following her intelligence, my train of thought was sporadic, but if I were to find clues and solve the case on my own… I’m afraid I won’t get any results today.

Song Junyan, who was standing by, waved to his confidant and whispered a few words to him. The confidant ran away quickly, and soon someone brought a bowl of sobering soup to Lu Xinran.

Lu Xinran stared blankly at the hangover soup in front of him, his nose twitched, then he frowned and moved back.

[It smells terrible. I won’t drink it. I want to go back to sleep.]

Lu Xinlan: “…”

She picked up the bowl of soup, handed it to her and coaxed her like a child, and drank the sobering soup mouthful by mouthful.

"is that useful?"

Tang Quyan led people to continue examining the body and the traces around it. He glanced at the little girl with a frown on her face, and felt that Song Junyan's actions were unnecessary.

"Just give it a try."

It's no loss if it's useless. If they can help Lu Xinran sober up and provide them with some useful clues, they will gain something.

Most of the drunkenness dissipated with the evening breeze, and my heavy body gradually regained clarity.

She looked around and finally got a clear view of the surroundings and the body lying on the ground.

"Sister, you, do you want us to go over and take a look?"

Lu Xinlan knew what half of the sentence she hastily swallowed was, and just smiled and shook her head.

Although she wanted to show off her past learning and experience, there were many people around her, and Tang Quyan and Song Junyan were there, so there was no need for her to steal the spotlight.

If she didn't step forward, Lu Xinran would naturally not go over to her.

She flipped through Zhou Zhengya's pamphlet in the system. [She knew who was looking for her, so she didn't let the maid follow.]

[As soon as he arrived at Dingbo Pavilion, he was knocked unconscious with a candlestick, then dragged to the lakeside and thrown into the water.]

[She didn't see the man's face, she could only tell from the corner of his clothes that he was a eunuch, so the man who did it must be the eunuch Xiao Chen.]

[But why would someone want to kill her! ]

This question also appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

Zhou Bingshan gritted his teeth and looked at the daughter who was raised by him and Fang Suxin, now lying coldly on the ground. She would no longer smile at him tenderly and call him father. He couldn't help but shed tears.

Although he and Fang Suxin cannot be considered a good husband or a good wife, they are a good father and a good mother!

Don't let him know who killed his precious daughter.

Lu Xinran looked up subconsciously and happened to see this scene.

[Although Zhou Bingshan and Fang Suxin were a little messy in that aspect, they were really good to their two children. I really envy them.]

[It's a pity that Zhao has a problem with his brain. Lu Kangde only cares about profit and is only interested in climbing up the social ladder. As for the others...]

A sigh rang in everyone's ears, and almost everyone who gathered around the sisters looked at Zhou Bingshan.

Zhou Bingshan didn't care about being seen in such a disheveled state, and just met Lu Kangde's embarrassed and angry gaze provocatively.

So what if he took away the position of the Ministry of Revenue Doctor? Even his own daughter hates him. Does he still want to climb up in the future? !

Tang Quyan was still instructing people to search and collect samples. She mentioned in her mind that she was dragged to the lake and the other party did not pick her up, so there must be traces left on the ground.

Zhou Zhengya had a wound on her head. The other party attacked her in Dingbo Pavilion, so there should be bloodstains in the pavilion.

Lu Xinlan saw Tang Quyan's men collecting the blood in Dingbo Pavilion. Her occupational disease made her itchy. After waiting for a while and seeing no other movements, she couldn't help but took Lu Xinran to Tang Quyan's side and bowed.

"Master Tang, the murderer hit the victim with a blunt object. The wound on the back of the victim's head is large. There is a lot of blood in the pavilion and on the road. The murderer must have blood on his body. After throwing Miss Zhou Er into the water, he must have cleaned up the blood on his body and hands, and also dealt with the candlestick used as the murder weapon."

Her tone was soft, soothing, and well-reasoned.

Tang Quyan would have thought of these things, but he just hadn't had time to ask anyone to investigate.

Hearing her guess what he would do next, he felt a little appreciative.

"What the young man from the Lu family said is true. I have already asked people to search for the murder weapon nearby, and I have also asked people to check on the servants who entered the garden today."

Since the other party's name is fake, his identity as a eunuch is most likely also fake.

However, today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and all officials and female family members are present. There are many people entering the garden, and it is not easy to check them one by one.

Although Lu Xinran was afraid, his eyes still uncontrollably fell on Zhou Zhengya.

"Did your girl suddenly faint yesterday?"

As she was browsing the melon-eating system, she suddenly saw a piece of inside story, and her gaze uncontrollably fell to Zhou Zhengya's lower abdomen.

Hongmei was so scared that she couldn't speak and could only nod her head desperately.

[A dead person has no pulse, how can you detect whether she is pregnant? ]

【I think I know who the murderer is. 】

Everyone who heard her inner voice held their breath for a moment, and all looked over, waiting for her to continue.

[How can I check if I'm pregnant? It's still early in the pregnancy, so it should be easy to overlook it, right? And she hasn't even arranged to get married yet. If I rashly let someone check these things, people would definitely think that it's insulting Zhou Zhengya's reputation.]

[Melancholy, how should I tell the coroner to find out if she is virgin? ]

[No, the coroner definitely can't do that. The coroners are definitely all men. Even if the Zhou family was going to fall into poverty, they wouldn't let the coroner examine the body so carefully.]

[However, I should be right in my inference. Zhou Zhengya doesn't want to leave the capital, so she can only force that man to marry her. ]
